Mission

To embrace and change, with all deliberate speed, school practices, instructional methodology and school structures that perpetuate achievement and/or opportunity gaps in our schools.

The Closing the Achievement Gap Consortium (CAGC) is a regional coalition of diverse suburban public school districts and private school organizations located in the Milwaukee metropolitan area. The leaders of these progressive school organizations have come together to develop common professional development options for their school communities in order to eliminate achievement and opportunity gaps for children attending CAGC schools. The school leaders of CAGC institutions are committed to address the persisting inequities typically found in American schools. The member institutions of CAGC are high achieving suburban and private schools are historically high performing school districts who believe in the notion that equity in ensuring all children reaching their academic and social-emotional growth is the true measure of an excellent school district.

Since 2012, CAGC member institutions have worked together in collaborative ways to provide high quality professional development, examine practices and provide opportunities for underserved student populations attending CAGC schools. The mission of the CAGC: is to embrace and change, with all deliberate speed, school practices, instructional methodology and school structures that perpetuate achievement and/or opportunity gaps in our schools. All deliberate speed in the case of the Closing the Achievement Gap Consortium means expeditiously and swiftly.
